Abstract

    Collection of data on breeding amphibian populations and their wetland use and apparent health. Water levels and the contributing influences to the hydrologic cycle within small systems. Baseline water quality sampling (Temperature, pH, Dissolved O2, and specific conductivity). and topographic settings of the pools. Kinimetric surveying for horizontal profile analysis of pool basins. Calculations of water budget.

    • Title: West of Hudson NYC Watershed Season Pool Monitoring (Vernal pools)
    • Start Date: 2010-04-01
    • Description: Ongoing, frequently updated. Water quality data collected in the field: pH, Dissolved oxygen (% sat, mg/L), Specific conductivity, temperature. Biological data: flora and fauna species identification, length, sex, weight measurements of adult breeding amphibians, Spatial data on pool area, amphibian egg mass counts, surface water height. Water quality: March through October, annual adult amphibian capture and egg mass counts (March, April, May), water level: continuous all year

    • Purpose: To study and monitor seasonal pool surface water storage, tie wildlife usage to healthy forested uplands in the watershed, and connect scientific data collected in the lower Hudson valley to better understand pool wetlands.
